Apollyon Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 Is this tactic slightly flawed?While the sard elite is of course half the price of the laser tank, it also takes quite a bit longer to build. Observe:[sard]Cost = 350BuildTime = 689[orlasertank]Cost = 700BuildTime = 432 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowzeewee Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 But what actually matters is the cost,not buildtime but the saying goes,"TIme and tide waits for no man".But the watch company,25 hours, claims that there are 25 hours so which one will you believe ;D*Lowzeewee pretends to keep nudging towards the 'Time and tide' saying.

Apollyon Posted April 13, 2003 Author Share Posted April 13, 2003 Actually I think buildtime is overall far more important than the cost of a unit, especially if playing on maps with 15k or more starting money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowzeewee Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 Well....*Lowzeewee now starts campaigning for the '25 hours' plan instead :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkrul3r Posted April 15, 2003 Share Posted April 15, 2003 Time is more important than the cost :D i dont really care the cost of units.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navaros Posted April 15, 2003 Share Posted April 15, 2003 Yes Sards do take forever to build and that sux. Lucky me, I don't use Sards. tho they do own Lasertanksbut wanna know something really retarded? the enemy is credited with a kill every time the Holtzman effect kills one of your Sards. that's BS. he shouldn't get a kill for that, esp. if your Sard hit the lastank first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowzeewee Posted April 16, 2003 Share Posted April 16, 2003 I always have problems picking subhouses because1.Fremen is 1st choice because of their cloaked feds and warriors2.Enemy against me almost always pick ordos or harkonnen and never build engineers to repair leech infections.3.But also Sards have the Holtzman effect advantage ::) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devastator_Mech Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 I personally always choose Fremen and Sardaukars, but Guild and IX can sometimes be useful too, its just that I don't know how to use them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
